National Scone Day - May 30

Betty's Walnut Creme Scones

Use Sweet Creme gourmet scone mix
from Set to a Tea, 11.2 oz. box
Yields 8 scones

You will need:
3/4 to 1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon Roasted Walnut Oil La Tourangelle (got mine at Kroger)
   Optional...use more walnut oil to taste or use walnut extract instead

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees
(convection oven to 325 degrees).

Mix well, walnut oil or walnut extract
into heavy whipping cream.

Place all dry ingredients into a mixing bowl
and pour in 3/4 cup of cream, mixing as you pour.

Stir until cream is absorbed in the mix.

Work the dough around the bowl until all the dry ingredients are
incorporated and the dough is slightly sticky to the touch,
adding the remaining cream as needed.

Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and press to 3/4 inch thick,
(rolling is not necessary).  Cut out 8 round or wedge shaped pieces.

Place the shapes on a baking sheet (grease the sheet or use parchment paper)
and sprinkle with granulated sugar or brush with remaining cream.

Bake for 20-24 minutes or until lightly browned ( or test by inserting toothpick
in center of scone - it's done if it comes out clean).
Remove from the oven and cool before serving.

Enjoy with a friend or have a party!
